In recognition of the debut of Major League Soccer later than evening, the Oregon House of Representatives is scheduled to declare Thursday to be “Portland Timbers Day” in Oregon.
To make sure that the vote is unanimous (heh, heh, heh), Timber Joey will be representing the Timbers during the vote, scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednesday in Salem’s State Capitol building. The club is inviting members of the TA and 107ist to take part in this historic event.
Meet Joey in the Capitol rotunda at 10:00 a.m.; car-pooling is encouraged. The morning session begins at 11 a.m., and the “Timbers Day” bill, carried by Speaker of the House Dave Hunt (D-Clackamas County) is one of the first items on the agenda.
The club has asked for an approximate headcount; if you’re interested in going, contact 107ist Board Secretary Roger Anthony at Roger.Anthony@107ist.org.

PLEASE NOTE that the gathering time in the Capitol rotunda has been moved back to 10:00 a.m., a half-hour earlier than originally planned. Synchronize wathches accordingly.
Now is this for going forward it will be deemed Portland Timber Day every year on April 14th or just this year?
Dang it, I didn’t read this carefully! I thought this was happening tomorrow rather than today. Was totally going to go down there! Oh well. Thanks guys!
